I am born and raised in the Tampa area. I am a huge Tampa Bay Lightning and Rays fan. My number one goal for each and every one of my clients is to help them achieve every goal that they have, and make sure that they are 110 percent satisfied and happy. I started selling cars because of one specific time that my mom was not taken car of at a dealership. Since then, I set out to make sure that not only her, but anyone that I personally took care of, would never have to endure that. I set out to be fast, fair, and efficient with a no pressure environment.

Mitchell took over the negotiations from Driveway. com and got the deal done. David put the final touches on the deal. I flew in to Tampa Florida from Las Vegas and drove the truck over 3000 miles back More

Jacob went above and beyond, the rest was sub par. They allowed the vehicle to go out the door low on oil...poor inspection of the vehicle to not notice this. Oil light came on 30 mins into my trip More

Added $2250 onto my contract without telling me anything. Promised me the difference overnight. Never received the money. No customer support after sale. A real shame because their prices are good. More

I want to change my rating. Although there were some obstacles, Cheyenne fixed everything for me. She’s awesome.
